         A popular misconception is that diet manipulation can improve outcomes for patients with cancer. Advocates for diet change have profited from this unproven speculation, with best-selling books and multi-media presentations.

         This prospective study from Brisbane, Australia, looked at dietary habits for ovarian cancer patients before and following diagnosis with a record of survival. 650 completed surveys were obtained at the time of diagnosis, and a further 503 twelve month’s later.

         Results showed no survival advantage for those patients who had a good diet quality prior to diagnosis or for those women who changed their diet in response to the onset of ovarian cancer
